WD Purple™ drives are built for 24/7, always-on, high-definition security systems. WD Purple™ surveillance storage feature Western Digital’s exclusive AllFrame™ technology, so you can confidently create a security system tailored to the needs of your business. Using AllFrame™ technology, WD Purple™ drives improve video capturing and helps to reduce errors, pixelation, and video interruptions that could happen in a video recorder system. WD Purple drives have an enhanced workload rating** that supports systems designed for 24x7 video recording with up to 64 cameras.
**Workload Rate is defined as the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive. Workload Rate is annualized (TB transferred ? (8760 / recorded power-on hours)). Workload Rate will vary depending on your hardware and software components and configurations.
The right drive for the right job.
WD Purple™ drives have been engineered specifically for surveillance, so they’re able to withstand the elevated heat fluctuations and equipment vibrations within NVR environments. An average desktop drive is built to run for only short intervals, not the harsh 24/7 always-on environment of a high-definition surveillance system. A disruption to a drive could result in a failure that impacts multiple users, your security archive, or even the entire system. With WD Purple™, you get reliable, surveillance-class storage that’s tested for compatibility in a wide-range of security systems.
